My '91 Integra was recently damaged by flood water. I was driving through a deep puddle when she stalled out and died. I changed the spark plugs and changed the oil, and the car was able to start. The problem is, it runs a little shakey, and only for a short while. I know there are more than a few problems that may be causing this, but any help is apperciated

Hi goatis00,

Check for water in distributor cap.

If idliing is poor, do a compression test, you might have bent con rod if too much water had been sucked into the cylinders.
